Family Lunch Date With Glad

I just love when I get asked to write a blog post about products that I already use and love. So you can imagine my joy when I got the chance to review Glad food storage containers. I already had a stash of them in my cluttered cabinet. Side note: Am I the only one who just can’t seem to keep her food storage container cabinet organized? I can’t keep my cabinets organized but Glad food storage definitely helps me keep lunches organized and ready to go! They’re easy to clean, seals super tight, and microwave-safe. Here are just a few ways that Glad saves the day when it comes to making lunch for my family!

Glad makes lunches easy to grab n’ go!

Hubby’s Lunch-time Salad Fix

Hubby’s favorite BBQ Ranch Chicken Garden Salad!

My husband is on a diet. This annoys me in three ways. 1.) He already has a great body to me. 2.) He’s constantly coming home from the gym saying, “Wow I’ve lost a pound today!” 3.) I’m 6 months pregnant and feel like a whale! I cheer him on and try to be supportive anyway. I’ve been making him salads for lunch that he loves. I use Glad Entree containers when he goes dressing-free and Glad To Go Lunch containers, which has a dressing cup that snaps into the lid on days when he’s allowed to have dressing. I can prepare and stock a week’s worth of salad in less than 30 minutes. Yeah, he thinks I’m pretty darn amazing.

Mommy’s Lunch Time Fruit Bowl

I snap-on lid cup is everything!!

Around lunchtime I get these intense, I-want-it-now cravings for sugar, usually cakes, cookies and pies. I’ve been arming myself with these mini fruit bowls that I create with Glad To Go Lunch and Snack containers. I cut up various fresh fruits and fill the removable lid cup with homemade strawberry cream cheese yogurt dip. Whenever that 12pm sugar craving hits, I just go grab my ready-to-eat fresh fruit bowl. It really does keep the cake cravings at bay and since it’s already prepped, my laziness doesn’t get the best of me.

Isaac’s Lunch-On-The-Go

Kids’ healthy lunch on the go!

Do you guys remember my post on the healthy fridge snack box I made for Isaac? Lately I’ve been making lunches-to-go and let me tell you, I adore them! I’ve been having a ton of afternoon doctor appointments and prepping for baby shopping trips lately. Isaac usually comes along and somehow we started getting into the habit of eating fast food while we’re out and about. Don’t judge me. This had to stop so I created these easy, lunches-to-go!

Yep all of this fit into the thin & roomy Glad Entree containers!

He loves those cracker, cheese and meat lunches we use to get from the grocery store so I created my own, only much healthier and cheaper. Everything, including a juice box, fits perfectly inside of the Glad entree containers. I wrap everything in Glad Cling Wrap to keep it separate. Whenever we go out I just tuck one in my bag and we are set. Ahhh no more mommy fast-food guilt. Well I hope you enjoyed reading about ways that I use Glad food storage for my family’s lunch and that I’ve given you a few ideas. Now I wanna know what are some of your favorite lunch-time tips?

What a great review! I read every word. I’ll have to buy it and try it! I have very long and busy days, and the most convenient thing to do is buy snacks on the go, in between meals. Well, that’s not healthy for my body or my pockets. Thanks for the ideas!

I use glad to store all of my left over at night and when I get time I prepare my lunch for work and glad is what I use. Now that I am trying to lose weight I will need to take the time to prepare my lunch and snacks for week and glad is what I will use
